What the 'ell, the weather looks good, lemme try one more time. Sleep in all the way to 5:15 (since the clocks changed, which also means I’m going to be late to work since sunrise is basically an hour later) & drive out there. Conditions are absolutely perfect, including the bonus of high dew point which means light mist over the lake. They do official counts/estimates twice a week. It ended up being less than 1% of three days earlier. While I got some good shots, if I had the weather with the counts from last week I’d have a serious contender submission for wildlife shot of the year; instead I need to wait 11 more months.
